Punta Pacifico o Encanto Bahía is a small, relatively new resort in Mazatlan, Mexico. It is only partially built, and they are selling units on a pre-construction basis. The clients often complain about their lack of compliance with the 5 day cancellation policy and their lack of availability to book when they want to use it. They also use rental and resale scams to increase their sales.
Common Complaints:
- Salesperson claims that they prefer if the client does not use the timeshare week. Punta Pacifico o Encanto Bahía offers to pay the client a high rental price per week for the next five years to not stay at that particular resort because they wanted to keep as many units available as possible to have enough rooms available for other prospective buyers who might come to view the property.
- Punta Pacifico o Encanto Bahía uses resale agents that guarantee the sale of an old timeshare within a 90-120 day period. They promise high resale prices, so that they can induce buyers into purchasing larger amounts for their Punta Pacifico/ENcanto Bahía timeshare package.
- Have clients sign a Cardholders Acknowledgement that states "I realize and understand that the earnest money deposit I have credited towards my purchase contract is non-cancellable and non-refundable, as my purchase agreement has no provisions for a rescission period." This statement is in opposition to the 5 day rescission period allowed by Mexican Law.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for warning me, I almost joined the presentation at la Jolla.
However after reading your stories I decided not to go there!
I lost 100 pesos deposit, which I won't cry over!
Still after reading your horror stories, I decided I had to do something, so I went and met the taxi with the sales-guy. He asked me why my wife wasn't present and I told him that I came to collect my 100 pesos and that I read on the internet about the "La Jolla Scum". He told me that He had to go to the "La Jolla office" to get my 100 pesos. I grabbed him at his throath, turned him around and pulled him over some wires choking him for 30 seconds. In the mean time the taxi-driver and another guy were shouting and I told them that the best advice I could give them, was to stay away from La Jolla, while soon actions were gone take place landing them in Jail or end up dead.
I took some of his papers and his straw hat and told him he could collect his stuff if he brought me the 100 pesos, he assured me that he would bring back the 100 pesos, however I take this as another "La Jolla" promise!
(The guard at the Gate showed me this morning the hat and the papers, which still haven't been recollected, anyone interested in buying a straw-hat formerly owned by a "La Jolla" sales-guy?).

Knowledge is the best way to prevent a scam. Knowing that msrmceas are out their and how to identify them is key to stopping timeshare scams.Most owners don't know that the first scam was done to them when they purchased the timeshare as the resort staff misled and lied to them.
Unfortunately , once you enter into a contract at La Jolla - you can not get out. We tried within an hour after and were denied , threatened with jail. It is a total scam!! They even asked us to be their decoys by coming back the next day free of charge to just hang out and lay around the pool.
